asked on Group policy to create IE - 32bit shortcut for specific website
I have a vendor website that requires 32bit Internet Explorer (yes, first solution is use a different vendor, right?).
You can see I've built a GPO, that I believe should work correctly. I've created a test OU, placed my test computer in it (Win7 - 64bit), and linked the policy. Below is the policy I built. Pretty straightforward I thought.

Problem is that I'm not getting ANY shortcut appearing on my desktop

Did you run gpresult /R on workstation to make sure that policy was applied ?

Robert - I did find an error:
"Group Policy objct did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified."
File path to 32bit IE appears correct, but it seems I must have a typo. I'm checking that.

McKnife - I just tried that after verifying my syntax was otherwise correct. I believe you are correct.
The shortcut did apply to my two test machines and appears to be working now. I'm going to test bit further with some additional machines (including a Win10 box). I should be able to close this tomorrow.

Quotes in the target path will result in error indicating unable to find specified file
